Ireland did too, its a preconception that it was only Scotland that played the bagpipes.
I wasnt referring to the media, i was referring to the reaction of some people on here when confronted with an obvious bias in favor of a certain country despite it supposedly being a British organisation. Its almost like its being taken as an attack on England, with people getting offensive and not even taking the time to understand the reasons why the subject is being brought up in the first place and formulating informed responses instead of attacking Scotland, its team or its similarly trated neighbours.
Very immature.
I presented reasons why its annoying and showed that its persistant and not just a World Cup fad, i then stated ways that the BBC could very easily rectify it and then went about trying to show why some people could hate English people because of they way that they treat people when faced with the evidence as has been shown here.
